拜伦经典诗歌：在巴比伦的河边我们

坐下来哭泣

By the Rivers of Babylon We Sat Down and Wept (1815)

在巴比伦的河边我们坐下来哭泣 by Lord Byron (1788-1824) 1

We sat down and wept by the waters Of Babel, and thought of the day

When our foe, in the hue of his slaughters, Made Salem's high places his prey; And ye, oh her desolate daughters! Were scattered all weeping away. 2

While sadly we gazed on the river Which rolled on in freedom below,

They demanded the song; but, oh never That triumph the stranger shall know! May this right hand be withered for ever, Ere it string our high harp for the foe! 3

On the willow that harp is suspended, Oh Salem! its sound should be free; And the hour when thy glories were ended

But left me that token of thee:

And ne'er shall its soft tones be blended With the voice of the spoiler by me! 在巴比伦的河边我们坐下来哭泣 一

在巴比伦的河边我们坐下来 悲痛地哭泣，我们想到那一天 我们的敌人如何在屠杀叫喊中， 焚毁了撒冷的高耸的神殿：

而你们，呵，她凄凉的女儿！ 你们都号哭着四散逃散。 二

当我们忧郁地坐在河边

看着脚下的河水自由地奔流， 他们命令我们歌唱；呵，绝不！ 我们绝不在这事情上低头！ 宁可让这只右手永远枯瘦， 但我们的圣琴绝不为异族弹奏！ 三

我把那竖琴悬挂在柳梢头，

噢，撒冷！它的歌声该是自由的； 想到你的光荣丧尽的那一刻， 却把你的这遗物留在我这里： 呵，我绝不使它优美的音调 和暴虐者的声音混在一起！
